Connect the two machines with a crossover cable as you have done already. Once you've configured both your IP addresses (192.0.0.X, eg), then you configure your internet apps (browser, email, whatever) to use the proxy server.
Secondly, if you want to share files between the two machines, I have to suggest PC/MacLAN. The difference between this and DAVE is that PC/MacLAN runs an Appleshare file and print server on the Windows machine, so it is ideal if you have multiple macs and only one PC.
